Your app is recording failed email input details even when it has not been successfully executed causing problems when you try to re-enter the details.It always tells me that signing up if temporary disabled, do not trust this appStay away!

2. Do they even use the app at all.This phone # / email issues.:- It says an email and phone number has been used and yet you are the user trying to re - enter your details again after failed first attempt.

3. 2/5 as I love the effort by Localbitcoins to get their own app, it's about time!Did work OK previously (but always had to switch domains?) but now when I open it fails to gather data (oops, failed to gather data).

4. Trying to use the app is just really annoying to the point you want to throw your phone against the wall.If there was anything less than one star I would have given it, it's okay on the website but in app, you can't even login, they will tell you to complete capture meanwhile they didn't provide a space for CApture.
